Add Native Generation of RO keys about btsync-tools HOT 6 OPEN

Promising information here: https://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/21338-inofficial-protocol-specification/ but only covers standard keys, not encrypted keys.

Specifically:

Secrets:
The read only secret is basically just a hashed version of the normal secret (all code is valid python code (after importing hashlib.* and base64.*)):

roSecret='R'+(b32encode(sha256(b32decode(secret)).digest())[:32])
The roSecret is hashed again. That hash is transmitted in LAN announces as well as to the tracker at t.usyncapp.com:

shareHash=sha256(b32decode(roSecret[1:])).digest()
That's about all the magic that's in the share secrets.

Example:

• Given basekey: OVD7B5MHX6RC4FYAIHNSHAUUIJPKWZOF
• We know: r/w regular is AOVD7B5MHX6RC4FYAIHNSHAUUIJPKWZOF
• We know: r/w encrypted is DAOVD7B5MHX6RC4FYAIHNSHAUUIJPKWZOF
• We need to know: how do we go from r/w regular AOVD7B5MHX6RC4FYAIHNSHAUUIJPKWZOF to r/o regular B3KTFE2GJ7JOUJNW5C45RHKWY7YMZENBJ ?
• We need to know: how do we go from r/w encrypted DOVD7B5MHX6RC4FYAIHNSHAUUIJPKWZOF to r/o encrypted EAOJPGYQTTEAMZM2XQH2XQB7I5MYKE4MSSFYWJC55PLS6CTUGAIBUZ7K2OY ?
• We know: r/o encrypted EAOJPGYQTTEAMZM2XQH2XQB7I5MYKE4MSSFYWJC55PLS6CTUGAIBUZ7K2OY converts to r/o storage FAOJPGYQTTEAMZM2XQH2XQB7I5MYKE4MS

The linked post doesn't seem to work given our test cases; we expect B3KTFE2GJ7JOUJNW5C45RHKWY7YMZENBJ at the end.

I suspect this all involves some combination of b32encode, b32decode, sha1 or sha256, RSA/ECDSA private/public key related stuff. R/W keys correspond to private keys, R/O keys correspond to public keys, R/O encrypted correspond to a public key and a symmetric encryption key, and R/O storage correspond to a public key (less the symmetric encryption key).

Placed a small bounty on bountysource; I suspect anyone moderately interested in public/private/symmetric cryptography with some spare time can figure this out with some experimentation. Worst case someone might need to take a look internally at what btsync does with the --generate-secret and --get-ro-secret flags.

The following is all that is needed to start solving this bounty (make the two failing tests pass by figuring out the relation between rwenc/rwreg and roenc/roreg keys):
